It is common knowledge that Chinua Achebe had turned down on two occasions National Awards slated to be conferred on him by the Federal Government of Nigeria. However, in death, he was given a state burial. I am inclined to think that the Family, toeing his principles ought to have equally turned down the offer of a State burial. What is your take on this issue?
